I have a workflow which contains one task. The task has a promptset associated to it.The promptset has two prompts: a date/time timestamp and a checkbox populated by a static variable, default values are set for both prompts.The prompset works fine when I check "Request User Input" in the general tab of task properties. When this is not checked, the workflow fails.

When I use the same workflow and promptset without the checkbox prompt, the default value of the datatime works correctly.

Is it possible to use a checkbox prompt with default values with the option "Request User Input" unchecked?According to the documentation, this is the default behaviour of a promptset associated to a task in a workflow.Thanks,Ray

I dont think so because the other PRPT with the date/time timestamp
prompt works fine when I remove the checkbox element from the same
prompset. I will test with the timestamp PRPT removed from the promptset...

Hi Wolfgang,Thanks for this test. I have tried this.According to the documentation, the workflow should take the default values defined at the PRPTSet level (I think). I have tested again as follows:1) Remove the task from the workflow2) Add the task to the workflow3) Go to task properties and set the values for the prompt4) save the workflow5) Execute the workflow

Hi Wolfgang,Update: It looks like a bug in the AWI - the task properties (values for the prompt) are not saved!I still don't understand why the default values for the PromptSet object are not used!Once again, thanks for your help - I'll update this post when I get support from Automic via a support ticket.Cheers, Ray.

Hi Wolfgang,I have tested with the Java GUI and the promptset works as expected (the values set in task properties for the task in the workflow are persistent). I did not find known issues/bugs in the download centre.Ray
